PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE FORMATION OF A CULTURALLY COMPETENT PERSONALITY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the conceptualization of philosophical principles of the formation of a culturally competent personality. It has been established that these principles are implemented in anthropological, existential, epistemological and axiological planes, which determines the sustainable development of personality. The anthropological context is associated with the understanding of man as a holistic developing system. A culturally competent personality is about a person in culture and for culture. The existential and epistemological contexts outline the place and significance of the Other in the personal formation of I, in shaping its life position in terms of cognitive and behavioral systems of interaction. The axiological context raises the question of the moral and value attitude of I to itself, the world and others like itself. Culture is defined as an ontological condition for the realization of a culturally competent personality. Emphasis is placed on the human-creating function of culture, its ability to regulate the space of all-unity. The competence component of a person’s personal development is realized in the fact that by learning the cultural codes of interpersonal interaction, constructing himself and the surrounding space, a person is aware of cultural differentiation and organizes his activities according to plurality of human needs, demands and objectives. The formation of a culturally competent personality takes into account the principle of dialogue. As shown in the article, the dialogical interaction between I and the Other is a factor in the integrity of a person's personal development. Dialogue encodes the space «between» I and the Other; fixes the ontological and epistemological openness of I, its ambivalence towards the Other.
